Those in the mp3-sharing community of hip hop will surely know the name WARLORD who has been providing us with some of the meatiest slabs of downloads via various websites for the past few years.
His latest is Bust The Facts which is a homage to the original blog of the same name founded by Jimmy Smithson and others who kept this particular part of the internet alive with lost and rare tracks.
Warlord is uploading some truly classic stuff so if you are down with this, then get on down with this!

This is the official video of Chrome & Illinspired's latest physical release 45 'You Should Know' which was released late summer last year. It's still available on Bandcamp but as far as I'm aware all vinyl is sold out - and so it should be, this track is a fackin' monster.

I'm totally biased of course, although if I didn't personally know the lads then I would still rate their music because they make proper 'boom-bap', 'live breaks' whatever you want to call it. Real breakbeats, proper scratching and heavy but on-point vocal deliveries from them both.

Filmed totally in Norwich over the course of a few weeks at various hip hop events by AboveGroundMedia this should hopefully give you a nice flavour of All C 'n' I (see what they did there?).
I'm in there if you watch very closely but obviously my wicked b-boying (cough) got left on the cutting room floor. I think not.

So if you liked that then check this video out below. It's the lads again doing some support last year when Ultramagnetic MC's visited the city.
I won't keep singing their praises because I'm sure I'm just annoying you but you should really have a look as their routine will make you smile.
Thanks to JEDIWNE for the footage on this.

It's a new year, it's almost the 3rd Saturday of the month which means it's the first No Half Steppin' night of the year.
The Xmas special was, well just that, special. It was underground UK hip hop at it's finest as anyone who was there will undoubtedly attest.

This month is back to basics with Chrome & JustOne on the wheels and I shall be guesting again. Hosted by the freestyling and unique Illinspired, it opens at 8pm and is this Saturday (18th Jan) at The Rumsey Wells (downstairs) in Norwich.

All the techno-gods were happy and the show went live without a hitch last Thursday after the complete failure on Boxing Day. All submitted songs were aired exclusively and really went down a storm. Big props to everyone that got involved and thanks also to Waxer for giving up another slot in his show for me for a second chance.

I'm in the midst of preparing the album in readiness for download for everyone unfortunately I'm having a bit of trouble making the actual thing through iTunes.
Although I won't usually hear a bad word against Apple products/software, iTunes is incredibly useless. I avoid it whenever possible but I have no choice unless anyone can suggest an easier way. I don't mind admitting I lost a load of my collection into the truly bizarre way iTunes sorts your songs when I clicked on the wrong option just before Xmas. Oh they're still in my collection, just nowhere that they should be.....

As posted previously on the blog, the ABU Album is now seemingly almost complete and will finally get it's first airing TONIGHT (with all things going to plan, technically-speaking) over on the ABU radio channel at 9pm on 'Disco Scratch Thursday'.
It was of course all supposed to happen on Boxing Day but alas, it was not to be - a combo of Norman, otters and general bastodry deemed it necessary to jinx the whole kit and caboodle.

Tonight's show will be all the way LIVE like Memorex. There are some absolute stonking pieces of work as well as a few exclusives coming your way tonight and I'm super-amped about playing them for you.

Kicking off from 9pm, get in the chatroom and talk to other like-minded people. If you've submitted a track then you'll definitely want to hear the buzz when it gets played.

To all listeners, contributors, readers and haters of ABU, I will always appreciate your great support that you have shown and hope it will continue to infinity and beyond.....
Happy 2014!
